Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio (1987)
for sale

Price: US $500.00

Description:

This is a 45, 000 mile, two owner original Quadrifoglio spider. It is nearly rust and appears to be accident free-
I bought this car for my son to use as a weekend driver -
I will be very thorough in my description so that the person buying this knows the true strengths and weaknesses of this car.
We love the black Quadrifoglio's with the gray leather and contrasting red carpeting.
The overall condition of the car is good but it needs TLC.
We had the car serviced by the Alfa-only shop -- They checked the compression and serviced the fuel injection. The engine is excellent and strong with excellent compression. The car runs and drives wonderfully in all respects. Just as you would expect with a 45k mile car however
the exhaust manifold gasket will need replacement.
This Quad comes complete with the original factory hardtop, original keys, owners manual, warranty book and Tool Kit.
It is rare to see all original and unmolested Alfa spiders. This example is in very good condition. It wears all its original black paint from the factory.
HOWEVER it does appear that there was cheap paintwork performed years ago. This car will need to be painted. There are small dents, scratches and chips on most all panels but it would require minimal prep work for a proper repaint.
It also has its original matching Quadrifoglio Pininfarina Hardtop, Paint is peeling on Hardtop and it will need repaint (see photos) a special design for this top-of-the-line model that had a $22, 500 MSRP!!
The sporty interior is all original. The original gray leather seats are in OK condition (see photos) and may be used as is for many years. The drivers seat and passenger seat is a little dry and both have a seam split. Door cards will need to be fastened to the door -- the clips that hold them are loose. The original carpeting is in very nice condition both in the passenger area, the storage area behind the seats and in the trunk. We love the bright red carpeting! It looks stunning in the otherwise conservative black and gray color scheme.
The dash pad has one small crack, (see photos)
a common problem for abused or neglected Alfas. The leather wrapped steering wheel is in very nice condition.
The soft top will need replacement - it is deteriorated but attached to the bows.
Rear Trunk Badge is there but wil need to be replaced - faded out.
The clock, stereo, horn, blinkers and emergency lights are not presently functioning. Nor are the heater fans. The air conditioning is not blowing cold but the A/C fan works all else seems to work. The full compliment of instruments and gauges all work with the speedo being stuck. Importantly, the odometer works fine
The original Alfa stereo and cassette player is not powered up and we believe the power antenna also is non-operational. The tires are in ok condition - thread life looks good. The larger but lighter weight 15 inch Quadrifoglio wheels are unique for this model and are in good condition.
The brakes and handling of the car are fine. There are no squeaks and rattles.
Tires are in OK condition --- they look average - however while the size of the tires are all the same the make of the tires are as follows --- rear tires are Pirelli and Dunlop on the front.
My overall opinion of the car is that it runs - drives - stops - shifts through all gears fine but needs to be sorted out --- if you have mechanical ability / Body Shop ability you can fix this solid Alfa up and enjoy it for years to come.
I urge you to ask questions.
